Mahindra XUV 7XO will more likely go on sale early next year and it will get a host of revisions inside the cabin with mild cosmetic updates
Early last year, Mahindra & Mahindra applied trademark filings for new names such as XUV 1XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 5XO and XUV 7XO. While the XUV 3XO turned out to be the rebranded XUV 300 with multiple updates inside and out, the XUV 7XO was initially thought to be the XUV.e8 concept based three-row electric SUV based on the XUV 700.
However, we officially know that the brand’s first all-electric three-row offering will carry the XEV 9S moniker as it is based on the same INGLO platform as the XEV 9E. Thus, utilising the XUV 7XO nameplate for the updated XUV 700 which has been caught testing multiple times in recent months only makes sense.
In the future, the XUV 1XO and XUV 5XO names could make way for a micro SUV and a 4.3-metre long midsize SUV respectively or they might be left unused as it is too early to tell at this moment. The Mahindra XUV 7XO will go on sale in the first quarter of next calendar year and it will get a slew of revisions.

The exterior gets a slightly redesigned front end featuring a reworked bumper and updated headlamp elements. Mahindra seems to be retaining the signature flush-type door handles from the current version and as you might expect, the overall profile will remain unchanged. The XUV 7XO is also expected to sport a new design for its alloy wheels.
It may also retain the same overall dimensions and glasshouse as the current model. Mahindra will likely complement these subtle design tweaks with a few new exterior paint options. At the rear, the XUV700’s taillights seem to retain their familiar outline – though the internals look to be revised mildly.

On the inside, Mahindra appears to be bringing in big revisions as upgraded materials and some of the detailing as well as equipment are inspired by its latest born-electric models. The equipment list will be headlined by a new triple-screen setup. Front ventilated seats, an updated suite of Level 2 ADAS functions, automatic climate control and wireless phone charging will remain.
Other highlights of the Mahindra XUV 7XO will include USB Type-C ports, a 360-degree camera system, full-LED lighting, ambient illumination, multiple airbags, adjustable headrests, etc. Under the hood, the 2026 Mahindra XUV700 will retain its proven powertrains – the 2.0-litre mStallion petrol and the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engines.
